Grey Rifles???

[flatcat]

Hello

From where do these grey (more like dark brown) rifles come from? There were 4 of them in my latest goodie box, and I don't think they belong with the Sheriff's office or the Fort Randle



The normal colour one is at the top. I know a different colour rifle came in the gold transport set, but that set only had two, and is far too modern a set to be in with the box of all 80's Playmo

That's interesting, as there is no hint of any of those sets in this lot

One of the rifles in the Estrela Knife Thrower set is gray, though it is not officially Playmobil:

It doesn't quite look the same shade

I have come across these guns before but not in large numbers just the odd one or two at a time.

I have scanned an image of a nice western scene from what is probably a 1988 UK catalouge (thread coming soon) showing one of these rifles.

I have always assumed that all the parts used in the scenes in the catalogues came direct from the German factory. Although a lot of western sets in the 80's where made in Spain which also had it's own parts numbering system might of made the guns.
